I recently bought one off craigslist from a guy for 250.00 with a stand and 1" & 1 1/2" 1" 1/4 and 1" 3/4" dies and the hydraulic adapater..

My question is I have a hydraulic pump off a boat for the tilt and trim and I was wondering has anybody used this with a cylinder and did it work?

I really want to see some pics of yalls Home build Hydraulic benders using the JD3..

post up some pics of the home built benders I did a search and did not come up with much...

Thanks

I also have one more question does any body have a 1 5/8" die for this bender they dont need and want to sell or donate to a good cause.................. lol

$250? and you want donations? you robbed the guy and still want more? lol you fucker.

$250....what a DEAL! thats about the price of one die set.

x2 on pirate4x4 you can try offroadfab.net also and youtube

I did the harbor freight air/hydraulic conversion on my pro-tools 105 and it works real good for the $$

that web site has some good info on it thanks I am going to build one like this

What yall think where can I find the power unit at?

I have a old log splitter with a bad motor but the hydraulics are on a gas engine I thought I could use the ram and ther controls off of it

do you think this power unit would be good enough? has anyone tried this type of pump?

 

[MrRedfish]

the Harbor frieght Air over hydraulic one looks to be to slow..


I really dig this set up but its a loud mofo

Heres the one i built. its based on the JD3 but the only thing thats theirs is the dies and degree wheel. i made my own arm out of 3/4 inch thick plates. theirs are only 1/2 inch. the ram is 21 inch stroke. i can get just over 80 degrees in one stroke.

thats about the same as i have on my protools 105 bender (basically the same bender) but mine is an enerpac.

i know a guy here that used a power steering pump and an electric motor on his. never saw it work but he said it worked good.

we use the hf air over hyd. engine hoist style ram. ive seen faster but i realy like it. its better then doing it by hand. i wouldnt say it is slow.

Does the enerpac work good I found one I am thing about buying and I was wanting to know of the speed of it I used one a long time ago on a flange spreader when I worked in the plants along time ago but I can't remember how fast it was... That is air over hydraulic right ? Or is yours electric?

 

[MrRedfish]

alright i started my bender build

 

[MrRedfish]

 

[MrRedfish]

here is a video I was fucked up at the time so the speach is a little slurred and i mounted it 180* off luckly i just had it stiched not fully welded

 

[MrRedfish]

I am still looking for a power unit {hydrauilc pump} I got the cylinder and hoses just no pump yet
